Acorn or BritBox?

We love anything British - especially the tv shows, movies and series. We love them even more because we watch a lot of tv in the evening. It started with masterpiece theater all those years ago and never ended. I actually bought the Pride and Prejudice CD shortly after we watched it. A couple of years ago we decided to try Acorn TV and got the app to watch it on Apple TV. It had a lot of great shows, but not everything we liked or read about. There are also many shows from Canada and Australia which usually don’t grab our attention; however, anything from Ireland, Wales and Scotland usually do. One of my favorites now is the Yorkshire Vet. If you like animals of all kinds, the countryside, and watching all sorts of crazy issues that arise on farms and homes alike, you’ll love it. After reading - again - about the difference between Acorn and BritBox, we decided to try BritBox because it had a few shows my husband was hearing about. It also has a lot of the golden oldies which we aren’t that crazy about. We obviously love the classics, but also appreciate some of the newer series that have been made - modern dramas and crime shows. It’s interesting because we are recognizing actors across both apps who have become famous in their own right. Now that we are almost caught up with Call the Midwife on Netflix, we have a lot of things in the queue. It’s nice to look forward to engaging television. It’s the only thing that is what it was before the pandemic struck. And a great way to forget about it - at least for a few hours.
